Carrie Johnson cast her mind back to her lockdown wedding day with former Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday, as the couple marked her fifth wedding anniversary.
Though she tends to keep her relationship largely private, Carrie took to social media to post a handful of rare, unseen photos of their big day, which took place while she was pregnant with their second child.
"5 years ago today, 3 months pregnant with Romy," she captioned the photos, which showed her beaming as she walked arm-in-arm with her new husband immediately after the ceremony.
The snapshot offered a glimpse of the picturesque Westminster Cathedral in the background, before they emerged through a floral archway to a shower of confetti from guests.
Carrie was a beautiful boho bride in her gown by Greek designer Christos Costarellos, which she had rented from My Wardrobe HQ. Features included long bell sleeves and a floor-length skirt finished with ladder lace detailing, which concealed her baby bump. She swapped a tulle veil for an elegant flower crown on top of her long blonde curls.
Fans took to the comments section to praise her unconventional rented wedding dress, with one stating: "Happy anniversary, I loved your dress at the time. You are such an inspiration hiring clothes and preventing waste in the industry."
A second added: "Happy anniversary to you both. Wow, I adore your dress I’ve said it before but you have the best fashion sense like Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City."
The couple got married on 29 May 2021, two years after Boris proposed during a holiday in Mustique. They welcomed their eldest son Wilfred in April 2020 before tying the knot in an intimate ceremony with just 30 guests the following year, in keeping with the coronavirus restrictions.

In July 2022, when restrictions had eased, they went on to host a larger celebration at Daylesford House in the Cotswolds, a 1,500-acre estate with a Grade I-listed country house and a swimming pool.

Carrie and Boris now live in Brightwell Manor, Oxfordshire, with their four children, Wilfred, Romy, Frank and Poppy.
